is a medicinal herb that garnered enormous attention in drug discovery for human diseases such as neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, arthritis and hepatitis diseases. Pharmacokinetic study confirmed that the pharmacological actions of this herb are associated with its prominent flavonoid bioactive components. Here, the data set of liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS), neurological functions, relative organ weight (ROW), hematological, biochemical and histopathological parameters of flavonoid-enriched fraction (FEF)-treated Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were presented.

Background: Ischemic stroke is a condition in which an occluded blood vessel interrupts blood flow to the brain and causes irreversible neuronal cell death. Transplantation of regenerative stem cells has been proposed as a novel therapy to restore damaged neural circuitry after ischemic stroke attack. However, limitations such as low cell survival rates after transplantation remain significant challenges to stem cell-based therapy for ischemic stroke in the clinical setting.

Various traditional medicinal plants have been used to treat diseases since ancient times and much of this traditional knowledge remains preserved today. (beko plant) is one of the medicinal herb plants that is widely distributed throughout Asia.

Nonetheless, albeit the potential of these cells for stroke therapy, many critical challenges are yet to be overcome to reach clinical applications. The major limitation of the NSC-based therapy is its inability to retain most of the donor stem cells after grafting into an ischemic brain area which is lacking of essential oxygen and nutrients for the survival of transplanted cells.
